The newly constructed, 42,000-sf project is situated along Holcombe Boulevard near the Texas Medical Center. Introgen's state-of-the-art production facility will manufacture gene-based INGN 201 product for cancer and other diseases. The R&D lab and administrative building abut the production facility. Much of the preclinical work for these product candidates is conducted at these facilities.
Browne, Penland, McGregor & Stephens, Architects Inc. is the designer and Vaughn Construction Co., the general contractor.
The APEX Award is conferred biannually based on reviews by a panel of judges from the construction industry, primary owners and architects. Candidates come from the 24 counties surrounding Houston. The criteria for the award include quality of the management process, completion time, completion of project within budget, new technology and overall contribution to the community.
David Enloe, Introgen's vice president of operations, says the award is recognition of the company's "commitment to constructing expertly designed and built research and production facilities. ... Introgen's decision to locate its campus near the Texas Medical Center is strategically important and enhances our collaborations with several institutions in the center."
Introgen's lead product candidate, INGN 201, has been developed in collaboration with Aventis Pharma AG, and is currently in Phase III clinical trials for the treatment of head and neck cancer. INGN 201 has been used in clinical trials throughout the world, either alone or in combination with chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Phase II clinical trials for INGN 201 are being conducted in the treatment of lung cancer, and Phase I trials have been undertaken in additional cancer indications including prostate, ovarian, bladder, brain and breast cancer.
